To Alan and Family, to The Rea Family ------ In memory of Shirley - I grew up in Crookston, West Otago with The Rea Family. I am a few weeks older than Alison. I like others. including my family and extended families in the area, had numerous interactions. The Rea Girls all attended Sunday School at Crookston where we all knew each other, sharing fellowship and singing. We travelled on the school bus, played sport, attended events - and had a wonderful lifestyle. It is with admiration that I have read the other acknowledgements. I lost contact with your Family but remember you all when I visit The Crookston Cemetery alongside your home farms and where you all grew up. I remember being shown through your new house all those decades ago!!! Having lost my parents, Aunts and Uncles and one sibling ie our young sister, Shona - it is with sadness that Duncan, Nola and I offer our condolences. May your memories help you at this difficult time. Thinking of you all. Susan (Revie, Power) McPherson.
